Celebrating the Season with a Drink

Whether you’re creating a promotional evening or just to saying thank you to your existing clients. Can you do this legally?

In the past, we would openly offer clients a glass of mulled wine, a glass of prosecco without a thought. However, now… Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin are all great ways to promote the festive season. But, if you advertise your business with a photo of a client drinking in your business or promote a treatment offering a glass of wine (without the relevant license) you could be fined £15,000.00

Promote your business safely

Contact your local authority and see if you need to apply for a premises licence.

If you wish to sell or supply alcohol, you will need to hold a personal licence (one days training course and exam), which is for a Level 2 Certificate for a Personal Licence Holders Accreditation. You can apply for basic disclosure to see if you can become the licence holder.

The total cost may vary from region to region but it is much safer to spend a little and be safe.
